Really? You pay very little to the state? I'd bet at the very least 15-20% of your property tax goes to the county/state, not to mention the many 'hidden' state taxes you pay in meals, gas, etc.
Let me paraphrase you: "I pay too much for our local schools. But I don't want to have less funding for my local schools. Therefore, someone else should pay for my local schools." Yet you in your own town vote on those taxes - your town comes up with the school budget and you and your neighbors vote on it. Many towns cut spending the last two years. My taxes were essentially flat the last three, and in fact a little lower the last two years - even though the state part went up (grr) - because my town voted down a lot of stuff we decided we could do without, or could be put off until times were better.
But gambling, especially casino gambling, requires creating more state apparatus. I'm not in favor of making a bigger state for some notion that it will make us locally have to pay less down the road, because it just won't do that. "This time for sure!" Yeah, right. Gambling revenue is highly variable, and so you can't reliably fund essential state government (or schools) with it, and if it is used to create rainy day funds... well, we all know how long rainy day funds last. Our state can't even manage steady-state funding from property taxes. Control spending first, or it'll be the same with any new revenue source. Ultimately, every state that has implemented casino gambling winds up in the same hole. Ultimately they all raid any surplus in the set-aside education revenue, then continue to bill against it even when that "source" is net in the red. I wonder why that is.
Reduce government waste. Eliminate the functions of state government that have little to do with its essential functions. Then talk about what you're funding and whether you're getting your money's worth.
